Auriculariales Fungal Phylogeny with New Species and Family Proposals

FASTA files totaling 924.9 KB contain genetic sequence data for a taxonomic study of the Auriculariales fungal order. The dataset, authored by Yuan Qi and last updated in May 2026, proposes a new family and eleven new species within the genus Basidiodendron. It is shared under a CC-BY-4.0 license on figshare.

Use Cases

• Phylogenetic tree construction based on molecular sequence data
• Molecular clock analysis for divergence time estimation
• Taxonomic classification and validation of novel fungal species
• Comparative genomic studies within the Auriculariales order

Strengths

• Dataset is openly licensed (CC-BY-4.0) for reuse.
• Includes proposals for a new taxonomic family and eleven new species.
• Focuses on a specific fungal order (Auriculariales) and genus (Basidiodendron).

Limitations

• Row count and column-level documentation are absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The dataset is small (924.9 KB), indicating a limited scope of genetic sequences.
